I installed the port and it runs fine but part of it's behaviour I don't understand. When make was running configure, I selected SNMP2AUTH for the type of security desired. I have not, however, created or edited any of the security related files (party, view, etc.). When I queried the bsd box from netguard on a PC, I supplied a community of public and it returned the info. I supplied a community of private and it let me change several variables. I thought if I selected SNMP2AUTH it would reject requests unless things were setup in the config files. Why is it allowing 'public' and 'private' in the first place, and second if it has to be this way where can I change the community names 'public' and 'private'. Also the docs for the config files don't seem to exist (party.conf, view.conf, context.conf, and acl.conf). Does anyone know where I can get more neophyte oriented docs on these files configuration? Lastly, if anyone knows, does netguard support querying via SNMP2 or is it SNMP1 only? Thanks for any pointers! Jay L. West
